I want to get to one of these runs but it never seems to work out. Getting home at 2 am the night before and then plans for Sunday afternoon = no go for me. I'd love to see if I could hang with some more heavily modded cars.

One thing to consider: Great attention will be paid to making sure people don't game the system with fuel fillups, but keep in mind hybrid drivers can also put an ace up their sleeves with the batteries. On a Honda hybrid you could easily disable assist and let the battery reach a full state of charge before the run, than use up all the charge during the run, thus artificially inflating MPGs. I know it's just a friendly competition but it is a factor to consider.
